Recent James Webb Space Telescope data confirms a decade-old theory that the universe's earliest supermassive black holes ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...

New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...

"This is a structure we've never seen before, so it could be a new class of dark object." ...

New models explain how small black holes in the early universe beat the clock and grew into massive objects within millions ...

Astronomers may have finally cracked one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how black holes grew so enormous so fast after ...

New simulations suggest early black holes grew rapidly through intense feeding, helping explain why massive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
